About Ben

The Basics

My name is Ben. I’m a gay guy who’s in my late-30s. I’ve had my own website or web journal since 1998. I’ve been on the internet for a really long time.

I used to go into a lot of detail about myself and my relationships, but as I get older, there is much more that I conceal.

I am partnered to a wonderful Indian man and we’re either married or getting married soon. (I feel like it’s important to mention that he’s an Indian because there isn’t much representation for gay Indian men. Happy, loving, same sex relationships are possible.) I’m totally happy being with him, so obviously I’m not looking for or interested in a relationship with anybody else.

I don’t think that it’s nice to tell you everything here, so discover who I am a little more by reading my weblog.

The Timeline

People are always asking me about my journey moving from the USA to Australia. Moving overseas isn’t an easy decision and it’s also not fast.

The Weblog

My weblog doesn’t have just one topic, but it’s a mish-mash of things I think about. You might read something about what a shit week I’ve had one day, and the next day I’ll post about the kinds of foods I want to cook. I talk a bit about things that affect the gay community and politics sometimes, but try to stay away from stuff like that since it stresses me quite a bit.

My opinions aren’t always the most popular ones and sometimes, I don’t actually do the research I should to back up a position that I have–I base what I write on my feelings at the time. So, just don’t get hateful over anything that I write.
